  1. Henry Morgenthau didn't give a rip about what was happening to the Jews in Germany early on. Then he grows a conscience and decides Germany needed to be turned into a farming commune dependent on the rest of Europe for its survival. It fit in nicely with Stalin's plans. I'll be honest, I'm pretty far from being a fan of FDR. But he handled his role as commander and chief during the war admirably for the most part (his Japanese internment policy left a lot to be desired though). That said, wishing death on people isn't my thing unless they deserve it but the world dodged two bullets WRT Roosevelt. The first was when the democratic party bosses kept the VP nomination away from Henry Wallace. Wallace was a starry-eyed dreamer who would have been a dupe for Stalin in the post-war world. The second break the world caught was when FDR passed away and Truman was allowed to deal with Stalin. Like I said, it's not that I'm celebrating the man's death, but FDR had this sense of himself that he could handle anybody if he could get them in a one-on-one situation. It is true that he was catching onto Stalin and his true nature near the end of the war but I believe he still would have tried to reason with "Uncle Joe" and might have given him even more territory. Truman was a simple guy who saw the world through a simple lens and he knew right away Stalin was a SOB who could not be trusted. He also told Morgenthau to take a hike and got rid of a lot of Stalin's other fellow-travelers. A few slipped through but I believe Harry was much better on the question of communism than FDR. FDR had plans to reinstate a lot of the controls that restricted the economy in the 30s and kept America in a depression longer than it needed to be. Sadly, Truman did let MacArthur have his way in the East and a lot of Japanese who should have hung from ropes were allowed to live and prosper. Yalta was a disaster but Potsdam was more of a mixed bag. That's my take anyway.

  2. Shooting your own mother to maintain power is "pragmatic"? Wow. Most people would use another word for that evil. I'd call it demonic but that's me.
